Natalie Pov.
Tohru told me about a festival that Kalibara is holding. I remember the time I helped out at the cultural festival there. I had so mush fun with Shigure and Ayame. Hatori never really liked to have fun like the rest of us, but he was always glad company. Tohru told me the date of the festival, so I decided to go and see what it's like. I can't wait to make new friends. I do wonder if I can ever go and talk to Shigure and the others. Oh well, I guess I cross that bridge when I get to it.
Anyways, I walked up to Kalibara about an hour after it started. Why? Because not all little girls who let stray animals in their house will let the animal leave the next day. It took me an hour to find a small hole in the wall of her bed room. Just turn into a mouse, and I'm on my way, so late that I will have to apologize for my rude behavior. I hope Tohru is still here.
"Tohru Honda of class1-D, Tohru Honda of class 1-D, please come to the first floor conference lounge. Tohru Honda of class 1-D, please come to the first floor conference lounge."
I looked up as the P.A. System called for my friend.
"Well, I guess I'm going to the first floor conference lounge, if Tohru's there," I said as I walked into the school. I hope I can find it. I started walking towards the general direction of the conference lounge. It took my about ten minutes, but just as I turned a corner, I saw Tohru turning the corner away from me on the other side of the corridor. I started running to Tohru, when out of an open door, some one walked right in to me.
I didn't even have time to blink as I landed on top of the person, landing on the floor with a hard thud, immediately being covered in purple smoke. When the smoke cleared, I saw that I had landed on the same boy who Kissed Tohru. What was he doing here? He looked at me, surprised, and slightly scared. I looked down, to see my clothes, and rabbit's fee-RABBIT'S FEET?
"Momiji!" I turned and looked into the room. I saw a tall man in a suit, his hair covering his left eye. He look startled, but quite calm. He walked over to the boy and I, who's name I could only guess was Momiji. The man leaned out the door, looked to see if anyone else was around, then grabbed the boy, and pulled him inside. After shutting the door, he turned around and looked at the boy.
"Momiji, what have you done now?" said the man, in an annoyed tone. I, still laying on his stomach, looked down at him. He was wearing a loose, light purple shirt, green shorts, and a dark purple hat. His light blond hair was cut at his neck, framing his bewildered face.
"I don't know Hari. You tell me," said Momiji, looking at the man. I looked at the man, and realized something that now seemed obvious. This man looked like an older version of my friend Hatori. He looked down at me, as if trying to remember something from a long time ago.
"What is your name?" said the man called Hari.
"Ha-Hatori?" I said to the man. He gave a small gasp, looking surprised at what I called him. He bent down, and looked at my rabbit self.
"Natalie?" Hatori picked me up off of Momiji, and to my astonishment, hugged me. I just stayed there, being hugged by my old friend, who did not show much emotion. I slowly wrapped my tiny arms around his neck, and leaned my head against his. He pulled me away, and looked at me with a smile. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"Yes it has." I smiled at Hatori as he set me down, grabbing Momiji by the hand, and pulling him out of the room. I wondered why he did that, until I heard a pop, then got covered in purple smoke. I quickly put on my clothes that were laying on the floor, and walked out into the hallway where Hatori was speaking with Momiji.
"Do you understand?" Hatori asked Momiji.
"I gotcha!" said Momiji with a small salute. They looked over at me when I closed the door, and immediately the young boy ran up to me. "Hi! Hatori just told me that you guys know each other, and that you know about the curse. He also told me that you act differently, and we make you change instead of the normal way. I hope we can be friends too!"
I smiled at the boy. "I would like to be your friend too," I said, looking over at Hatori.
"I suppose you have the accommodations as before?" Hatori asked.
"No, I don't go to yet. I applied, but I don't have a locker yet. I just go to random houses and stay the night as a stray," I replied, now looking down on the ground.
"We should tell Akito about this." This made Momiji give a small gasp, and Hatori to become his normal stony self. "Akito is the head of the family, and he will know what to do."
"Ok. If that is what you need to do, then let's do it." I said, slightly confused as to why he had to tell this Akito person, but I guess that is better then just standing here.
"Come. We will go now," said Hatori, turning, and walking away. Momiji and I looked at each other, and followed Hatori. As we left the building, I looked back at the school. I remember all the things I had done when I went to Kalibara. I can't wait for more memories in this school. Momiji and I got in the back of Hatori's car, and stayed quiet until we got to our destination. As we got out of the car, Hatori called over to Momiji.
"Momiji, go to your room. Natalie, follow me." Momiji smiled at me, then skipped off to his room, while I followed Hatori to a small room. He told me to wait while he talked to Akito. I didn't have to wait to long before Hatori came back into the room he put me in. He looked a little sad, but normal.
"I'm sorry, but Akito is staying with his last decision. I need to erase your memories."
"Ok," I said, smiling. He looked surprised, but quickly got over it as he bent down, and put his hand on my head. I saw a flash of light, then darkness. Light started to come into view, but I felt different. I was sitting, but now it felt like I was laying down. As the room came into view, I heard some voices.
"How long has she been here?"
"She passed out yesterday, and has yet to wake up."
"Will she be alright?"
"I hope so."
I could see the room clearly now. I was on the floor with something on top of me. I looked down, and saw that it was a blanket. I looked up to see what appeared to be Hatori and Shigure talking in the corner. I tried sitting up, but I ended up back on the ground, and with a head ache. I moaned as I successfully rolled over onto my side, looking over at the other two in the room. They came over to me, bending down to see if anything was wrong. Hatori put a hand on my forehead, and pulled out a stethoscope.
"No need for that doctor," I said with a smile. "I don't think that will help you much. I just have a head ache." Shigure smiled, while Hatori just put the stethoscope in his ears, then against my chest.
"That's not right, I can't hear your pulse," said Hatori, feeling my neck, and wrist.
"The next time you try and erase my memory, can you make sure I don't pass out?"
They stopped moving.
"Now Natalie, why would you think that Hari would do that?" asked Shigure. Hatori looked slightly confused, not being able to find a heart beat.
"Because Shigure, I still know that you are a dog, Akito is sticking with his decision, and Hatori will never tell me his zodiac. And Hatori, can you please stop trying to find my heart beat? I lost that a century ago."
They were shocked. Shigure, who was crouching, fell backwards away from me, and Hatori stopped checking for a heart beat that wasn't there. Hatori got up and left the room, while Shigure just sat there, looking at me.
"You remember then?"
"Yup. Every bit of it."
"When did you loose your heart beat?"
"About a century ago. I have died you know."
"Yeah, I forgot about that."
It was silent for a while, until Hatori walked into the room. He helped me up, making sure I don't fall on either of them, then lead me out of the room.
"It seems that since you remember everything after I erased your memory, you are to be watched." I stopped walking, and looked at Hatori.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"It means that Akito wants a Sohma to watch you all the time. Akito has asked that you live with Shigure, and the others living there as well." I looked over at Shigure, who was smiling at me.
"Just like old times?"
"Just like old times. You know, minus Hatori and Ayame." Shigure and I laughed while Hatori was still on the topic.
"No one but the people you meet will know about this. Shigure, no telling Ayame about it. No one will know until they see her for them self."Shigure started to complain, but Hatori kept knocking him down. I started laughing.
"You guys are still the same aren't you?" I said, still laughing. We walked to the entrance to where ever we are, and Hatori said his good bye.
"I hope to see you again Natalie."
"Looking forward to it Hatori." He smiled, and walked away. I turned back to Shigure. "Shall we?" I asked, holding out my elbow.
"We shall," replied Shigure. We laughed a little as we started walking to his house, and my new home.
Hi! I got into one of those moods today, and had to write a chapter. I hope you all like it. If anyone finds something wrong in anything, please tell me and I will change it. I noticed I got Hatori's nick name wrong, and I went back and changed it, but I know I made more mistakes then that. If you liked it, then favorite, follow, like, subscribe, heart, eat, do something. I can't wait for the next chapter, and what all of you have to say about it. Any questions, please ask, and you shall receive. Hope to hear from you. Bye!
